Corvera Airport welcomes first direct flight from Marseille with 100 passengers on board
The new route between Murcia and France is operating twice weekly until late August

Corvera Airport has marked a significant milestone with the arrival of its first direct flight from Marseille after the opening of its new air route between the Region of Murcia and southeastern France.
The inaugural service, operated by the Spanish low-cost airline Volotea, touched down this Monday July 7 carrying around 100 passengers, according to a statement from the regional government.
As they disembarked, passengers were given complimentary gift bags to celebrate the occasion.
This new connection, part of a broader effort to improve the Region’s international connectivity, is scheduled to operate twice weekly, on Mondays and Thursdays, until August 28.
A total of 32 flights are planned over the summer period, offering approximately 5,000 seats between Murcia and Marseille-Provence Airport.
Juan Francisco Martínez, director of the Institute of Tourism of the Region of Murcia, highlighted the importance of this development: “This connection represents a milestone in the diversification of markets and the strengthening of international air connectivity, objectives included in the Strategic Tourism Plan 2023–2032 of the regional government.”
France remains a key market for the Region of Murcia, ranking as the second most significant source of international tourists after the UK.
Between January and May this year, 65,353 French visitors arrived, representing 14.2% of all international arrivals, according to data from Spain’s National Statistics Institute (INE), although the land connection means that many of those drive down in the car.

With the inclusion of the Marseille route, the Region of Murcia now has direct air links to 22 European airports across seven countries. This expanded network is expected to contribute further to the area’s growing tourism figures, which have shown consistent increases in visitor numbers, expenditure and sector employment.
The Regional Ministry of Tourism has also planned a series of promotional initiatives throughout the year aimed at reinforcing the Region’s profile in France and encouraging continued tourism growth from the French market.
